2.3 Inspections in General. During the Due Diligence Period and thereafter until the Closing Date or earlier termination of this Agreement, Purchaser, its agents, and employees shall have the right to enter upon the Property for the purpose of making non-invasive inspections at Purchaser's sole risk, cost and expense. Before any such entry, Purchaser shall provide Seller with a certificate of insurance naming Seller as an additional insured and with an insurer and insurance limits and coverage reasonably satisfactory to Seller.

Upon at least two (2) Business Days' prior written notice and request from Purchaser, Seller shall notify other tenants of the Property and permit Purchaser to view occupied office space, subject to the rights of other tenants under their leases and except to the extent specifically prohibited in such tenants' leases. At Seller's request, Purchaser shall provide Seller with a copy of the results of any tests and inspections made by Purchaser (subject to the limitations contained in Paragraph 2.2, above), excluding only market and economic feasibility studies. If any inspection or test disturbs the Property, Purchaser will restore the Property to the same condition as existed before the inspection or test. PURCHASER SHALL DEFEND, INDEMNIFY SELLER AND HOLD SELLER, SELLER'S MEMBERS, MANAGERS, OFFICERS, TENANTS, AGENTS, CONTRACTORS AND EMPLOYEES, SELLER'S AFFILIATES (HEREINAFTER DEFINED) AND THE PROPERTY HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL ACTIONS, LOSSES, COSTS, DAMAGES, CLAIMS, OR LIABILITIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, MECHANIC'S AND MATERIALMEN'S LIENS AND SELLER'S ATTORNEYS' FEES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH PURCHASER'S INSPECTION OF THE PROPERTY AS ALLOWED HEREIN OR OTHERWISE; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT PURCHASER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE OR RESPONSIBLE FOR COSTS OR DAMAGES ARISING FROM THE MERE DISCOVERY OF ANY EXISTING PROPERTY CONDITION.

The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement.

2.4 Environmental Inspections and Release. The inspections under Paragraph 2.3 may include a non-invasive Phase I environmental inspection of the Property, but no Phase II environmental site assessment or other invasive inspection or sampling of soils, water, air or other materials, including without limitation construction materials, for analytical testing, either as part of the Phase I inspection or any other inspection, shall be performed without the prior written consent of Seller's attorney shown in Paragraph 1.1(b) above, which may be withheld in its sole and absolute discretion, and if consented to by Seller, the proposed scope of work and the party who will perform the work shall be subject to review and approval by Seller's attorney shown in Paragraph 1.1(b) above. At Seller's request, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller copies of any Phase II or other environmental report to which Seller consents as provided above (subject to the limitations contained in Paragraph 2.2, above). IF PURCHASER ACQUIRES THE PROPERTY AND SELLER HAS NOT BREACHED THE REPRESENTATION AND WARRANTY MADE IN PARAGRAPH 7.1(E) BELOW, PURCHASER, FOR ITSELF AND ANY ENTITY AFFILIATED WITH PURCHASER, WAIVES AND RELEASES SELLER AND SELLER'S AFFILIATES FROM AND AGAINST ANY LIABILITY OR CLAIM RELATED TO THE PROPERTY ARISING UNDER THE COMPREHENSIVE ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSE, COMPENSATION, AND LIABILITY ACT OF 1980, THE SUPERFUND AMENDMENTS AND REAUTHORIZATION ACT OF 1986, THE RESOURCE CONSERVATION AND RECOVERY ACT, AND THE TOXIC SUBSTANCE CONTROL ACT, ALL AS AMENDED, OR ANY OTHER CAUSE OF ACTION BASED ON ANY OTHER STATE, LOCAL, OR FEDERAL ENVIRONMENTAL LAW, RULE OR REGULATION (COLLECTIVELY, "ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the Closing or any earlier termination of this Agreement.

2.5 Termination During Due Diligence Period. If Purchaser determines, in its sole discretion, before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period that the Property is unacceptable for Purchaser's purposes in Purchaser's sole and absolute discretion, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving to Seller notice of termination before the expiration date of the Due Diligence Period (the "Termination Notice"). If Purchaser does not give a Termination Notice prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. If the Termination Notice is delivered prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, the Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned to Purchaser, and the parties shall have no further obligations under this Agreement except for those matters which are stated in this Agreement to survive the termination hereof. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if Purchaser fails to give the Termination Notice on or prior to September 6, 2011, but gives the Termination Notice prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, then up to $50,000.00 of the Xxxxxxx Money (the "Xxxxxxx Money Holdback") shall not immediately be returned to Purchaser, but shall be available for reimbursement (the "Reimbursement") to Seller for the Eligible Costs. As used herein, the "Eligible Costs" shall mean the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Seller after the Date of this Agreement (a) to negotiate the loan documents and reimburse costs to perform other obligations necessary to preserve and be in a position to fund a possible loan with Unum Life Insurance Company to refinance the existing mortgage on the Property, and (b) in connection with said loan, to prepare, negotiate and file of record merger documents among each of the entities comprising Seller. Eligible Costs shall not include the reimbursement of costs for the performance of obligations that are necessary, desirable or appropriate for Seller to undertake independent of there being a possible loan with Unum Life Insurance Company, including, without limitation, fulfilling its obligations under the Leases and complying with applicable laws. To be entitled to all or any portion of the Xxxxxxx Money Holdback as a Reimbursement, Seller must by no later than thirty (30) days after Purchaser gives the Termination Notice submit to Purchaser a certificate on a form reasonably acceptable to Purchaser from Seller's property manager, Daymark Realty Advisors ("Daymark"), that Seller has incurred the Eligible Costs and attaching thereto invoices in reasonable detail substantiating the amounts thereof in reasonable detail, including an explanation of the nature of the cost. Seller's failure to comply with each of the above terms and conditions regarding the Reimbursement and the Eligible Costs shall entitle Purchaser to a return of all of the Xxxxxxx Money Holdback. To the extent that Seller does not justify its entitlement for the full amount of the Reimbursement, any deficiency shall be returned by the Escrow Agent to Purchaser upon demand. In no event shall Purchaser be entitled to the Reimbursement if Purchaser terminates this Agreement for any reason permitted by this Agreement other than pursuant to its rights to do so under this Paragraph 2.5.

2.6 Purchaser's Reliance on its Investigations. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and except for Seller's representations and warranties in Paragraphs 6.6 and 7.1 and any warranties of title contained in the Deed and the Assignment (hereafter defined) delivered at the Closing (collectively, "Seller's Warranties"), this sale is made and will be made without representation, covenant, or warranty of any kind (whether express, implied, or, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, statutory) by Seller. As a material part of the consideration for this Agreement, Purchaser agrees to accept the Property on an "as is" and "where is" basis, with all faults, and without any representation or warranty, all of which Seller hereby disclaims, except for Seller's Warranties. Except for Seller's Warranties, no warranty or representation is made by Seller as to fitness for any particular purpose, merchantability, design, quality, condition, operation or income, compliance with drawings or specifications, absence of defects, absence of hazardous or toxic substances, absence of faults, flooding, or compliance with laws and regulations including, without limitation, those relating to health, safety, and the environment. Purchaser acknowledges that Purchaser has entered into this Agreement with the intention of making and relying upon its own investigation of the physical, environmental, economic use, compliance, and legal condition of the Property and that, other than the Seller's Warranties, Purchaser is not now relying, and will not later rely, upon any representations and warranties made by Seller or anyone acting or claiming to act, by, through or under or on Seller's behalf concerning the Property. The foregoing limitations in this Paragraph 2.6 shall not apply to any written certificate from Daymark contemplated by this Agreement. The provisions of this Paragraph 2.6 shall survive indefinitely any Closing or termination of this Agreement and shall not be merged into the Deed or any of the other Closing documents.

2.7 Tenant Estoppels. Seller will use good faith efforts to deliver to Purchaser at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing estoppel certificates ("Estoppel Certificates") substantially in the form and content of attached Exhibit D (or in the form attached to a tenant's lease) executed by all of the tenants of the Property other than Purchaser. It shall be a condition precedent to Purchaser's obligations to close hereunder, that such Estoppel Certificates be delivered to Purchaser at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing without any information materially inconsistent with the Property Information or the representations and warranties made by Seller in this Agreement (unless such discrepancy was known to Purchaser prior to the Date of this Agreement). If the contingency in the preceding sentence is not satisfied, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement and be entitled to a return of the Xxxxxxx Money, and the parties shall have no further obligations under this Agreement except for those matters which are stated in this Agreement to survive the termination hereof. Seller shall promptly after receipt of any Estoppel Certificate deliver a copy thereof to Purchaser. Seller may satisfy its obligations to furnish any Estoppel Certificate by causing Daymark to certify to the same matters that the tenant would otherwise provide (so long as the information contained on any such Estoppel Certificate from Daymark is not materially inconsistent with the Property Information or the representations and warranties made by Seller in this Agreement). If Seller satisfies all or a part of the contingency regarding Estoppel Certificates by causing Daymark to certify in place of the applicable tenant, the form used shall be that on attached Exhibit D-1. Daymark shall be released from any liability under an Estoppel Certificate furnished by it if the applicable tenant subsequently provides its own Estoppel Certificate, but only if the information contained in the tenant's Estoppel Certificate contains no information materially adverse from the landlord's perspective to the information in Daymark's Estoppel Certificate.

ARTICLE 3: TITLE AND SURVEY REVIEW

3.1 Delivery of Title Commitment. Within two (2) Business Days following the Date of this Agreement, Seller shall cause to be delivered to Purchaser or Purchaser shall obtain a preliminary report or title commitment issued by the Title Company (the "Title Commitment"), covering the Property, together with copies of all documents referenced in the Title Commitment. Purchaser may obtain, at its expense, a current survey (the "Survey") of the Property sufficient to permit removal of the so-called "survey exception" from the Title Policy described below.

3.2 Title Review and Cure. During the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser shall review title to the Property as disclosed by the Title Commitment, the Existing Survey and the Survey. Seller shall have no obligation to cure title objections except (a) liens of an ascertainable amount created or assumed by Seller (including, without limitation, the liens securing the loan originally made by PNC), which liens Seller shall cause to be released at the Closing or affirmatively insured over by the Title Company, (b) any exceptions for leases or rights of parties in possession, except for the tenants under the Leases as tenants only, and (c) the satisfaction of all applicable matters on Schedule C of the Title Commitment (including, without limitation, any that pertain to Seller's Tenants in Common Agreement). Seller further agrees to remove any exceptions or encumbrances to title which are created by Seller after the Date of this Agreement without Purchaser's consent. Purchaser may terminate this Agreement if the Title Company revises the Title Commitment after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period to add or modify exceptions in a material adverse manner, if such additions or modifications are not acceptable to Purchaser and are not removed by the Closing Date. The term "Permitted Exceptions" shall mean: the specific exceptions (exceptions that are not part of the promulgated title insurance form) in the Title Commitment that the Title Company has not agreed to insure over or remove from the Title Commitment as of the end of the Due Diligence Period and that Seller is not required to remove as provided above; items shown on the Existing Survey or the Survey, which have not been removed as of the end of the Due Diligence Period; real estate taxes not yet due and payable; tenants in possession as tenants only under the Leases; and matters caused or suffered by Purchaser.

3.3 Delivery of Title Policy at Closing. As a condition to Purchaser's obligation to close, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to Purchaser at Closing an Owner's Policy of Title Insurance (the "Title Policy"), issued by the Title Company as of the date and time of the recording of the Deed in the official records of the county where the Property is located, in the amount of the Purchase Price, insuring Purchaser as owner of good, marketable and indefeasible fee simple title to the Property, and subject only to the Permitted Exceptions. Seller shall execute at Closing an affidavit or indemnity in such form reasonably acceptable to Seller as the Title Company shall require for the issuance of the Title Policy. The Title Policy may be delivered after Closing if that is customary in the locality.

During the pendency of this Agreement, Seller will not enter into any service contract or similar obligation that will be an obligation affecting the Property subsequent to the Closing, except contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business that are terminable without cause upon no more than 30-days' notice and without penalty or cancellation fee, without the prior consent of Purchaser, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

4.4 Termination of Service Contracts. During the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser shall notify Seller which Service Contracts Purchaser wishes to assume at Closing. Pursuant to the preceding sentence, Purchaser notifies Seller that all of the Service Contracts should be terminated. Accordingly, Purchaser shall not assume any Service Contracts. Notice of termination for all Service Contracts not assumed by Purchaser shall be given by Seller not later than the Closing Date and any normal and customary charges due thereunder after the Closing Date and through the date of actual termination shall be included as a prorated expense.

4.5 Damage or Condemnation. Risk of loss resulting from any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding which is commenced or has been threatened before the Closing, and risk of loss to the Property due to fire, flood or any other cause before the Closing, shall remain with Seller. If following the Date of this Agreement and before the Closing the Property or any portion thereof shall be materially damaged, or if the Property or any material portion thereof shall be subjected to a bona fide threat of condemnation or shall become the subject of any proceedings, judicial, administrative or otherwise, with respect to the taking by eminent domain or condemnation, then Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller given within 5 days after Purchaser learns of the damage or taking, in which event the Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned to Purchaser. If the Closing Date is within the aforesaid 5-day period, then Closing shall be extended to the next Business Day following the end of said 5-day period. If no such election is made, and in any event if the damage is not material, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and the purchase contemplated herein, less any interest taken by eminent domain or condemnation, shall be effected with no further adjustment, and upon the Closing of this purchase, Seller shall assign, transfer and set over to Purchaser all of the right, title and interest of Seller in and to any awards that have been or that may thereafter be made for such taking, and Seller shall assign, transfer and set over to Purchaser any insurance proceeds that may thereafter be made for such damage or destruction.

(b) Collected Rent. All collected rent and other collected income (including tenant contribution to common expenses) under Leases in effect on the Closing Date shall be prorated as if collected. Seller shall be charged and Purchaser shall be credited with any rent and other income collected by Seller before Closing but applicable to any period of time after Closing. Any prepaid rents for the period following the Closing Date shall be paid over by Seller to Purchaser through Escrow. Any unpaid rents for the month of Closing shall be assigned to Purchaser for collection following the Closing.

(c) Utilities. Utilities, including water, sewer, electric, and gas, based upon the last reading of meters prior to the Closing shall be prorated. Seller shall endeavor to obtain meter readings on the day before the Closing Date, and if such readings are obtained, there shall be no proration of such items. Seller shall pay at Closing the bills therefor for the period to the day preceding the Closing, and Purchaser shall pay the bills therefor for the period subsequent thereto. If the utility company will not issue separate bills, Purchaser will receive a credit against the Purchase Price for Seller's portion and will pay the entire xxxx prior to delinquency after Closing. If Seller has paid any utilities no more than 30 days in advance in the ordinary course of business, then Purchaser shall be charged its portion of such payment at Closing.

(d) Fees and Charges under Service Contracts, Licenses and Permits. Fees and charges under such of the Service Contracts, licenses and permits as are being assigned to and assumed by Purchaser at the Closing, on the basis of the periods to which such Service Contracts, licenses and permits relate shall be prorated.

(e) Operating Expenses Estimated Payments. The parties acknowledge that the Leases may call for certain increases in cost of real estate and personal property taxes, operating expenses, insurance premiums and other operating costs (collectively, "Operating Expenses") to either be paid directly by the Tenants or to be reimbursed to Seller by the Tenants through a common area tax, maintenance, and operating expense pass-through assessed against the Tenants. Any payment on account of estimated Operating Expenses by Tenants are referred to herein as "Estimated Payments". Operating Expenses for the periods from and after January 1, 2011 shall be prorated to the effect that expenses are paid by the parties on an accrual basis with respect to their period of ownership. Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing for the net amount by which the sum of all Estimated Payments billed to and collected from tenants under the Leases prior to Closing exceeds the amounts which Seller has paid on account of Operating Expenses prior to Closing for which Seller is entitled to reimbursement by tenants under the Leases and for which Seller has not been reimbursed by tenants under the Leases. To the extent applicable to determine the applicable proration in advance of December 31, 2011, expenses may be annualized and shall be presumed to be incurred on a level basis throughout the calendar year, subject to final adjustment in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 6.2.

(f) Leasing Commissions. Seller shall bear the cost of any lease commissions or other leasing costs associated with the Leases entered into as of the Date of this Agreement. Purchaser shall be responsible for any leasing commissions or other leasing costs in connection with the Leases to the extent they arise from any new Lease or modification of an existing Lease entered into after the Date of this Agreement. Leasing commissions applicable to any Leases which are renewed or extended by its terms during the period following the Date of this Agreement and prior to Closing shall be prorated over the term of such extension, and adjusted at Closing, so long as the obligation therefor is set forth on Exhibit F.

6.2 Final Adjustment After Closing. If final prorations cannot be made at Closing for any item being prorated under Paragraph 6.1, including Taxes, then Purchaser and Seller agree to allocate such items on a fair and equitable basis as soon as invoices or bills are available, with final adjustment to be made as soon as reasonably possible after the Closing, to the effect that income and expenses are received and paid by the parties on an accrual basis with respect to their period of ownership. Payments in connection with the final adjustment shall be due within 30 days of written notice. Seller shall have reasonable access to, and the right to inspect and audit, Purchaser's books to confirm the final prorations.

6.3 Service Contracts. Purchaser will assume the obligations arising from and after the Closing Date under those Service Contracts that are not terminated as of the Closing Date.

6.4 Tenant Deposits. All tenant security deposits in Seller's possession, as reflected on a final Rent Roll delivered to Purchaser (and interest thereon if required by law or contract to be earned thereon) and not theretofore applied to tenant obligations under the Leases, shall be credited to Purchaser and charged to Seller at Closing. As of the Closing, Purchaser shall assume Seller's obligations related to tenant security deposits so credited (the "Security Deposits"). Purchaser will indemnify, defend, and hold Seller harmless from and against all demands and claims made by tenants arising out of the transfer or disposition of any security deposits transferred to Purchaser and will reimburse Seller for any reasonable expenses (including all reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred or that may be incurred by Seller as a result of any such claims or demands by tenants.

6.5 Utility Deposits. Purchaser shall be responsible for making any deposits, required with utility companies due to the change in ownership of the Property or in order to have any deposits made by Seller released at Closing.

6.6 Sale Commissions. Seller and Purchaser represent and warrant each to the other that they have not dealt with any real estate broker, sales person or finder in connection with this transaction other than the Brokers. If this transaction is closed, Seller shall be responsible for any commission or other fee due to Seller's Broker, and Purchaser shall be responsible for any commission or fee due to Purchaser's Broker, in accordance with their separate agreements. Each Broker is an independent contractor and is not authorized to make any agreement or representation on behalf of either Seller or Purchaser. Except as expressly set forth above, if any claim is made for broker's or finder's fees or commissions in connection with the negotiation, execution or consummation of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, each party shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the other party from and against any such claim based upon any statement, representation or agreement of such party.

6.7 Roof/HVAC. Seller acknowledges that Purchaser maintains that the HVAC system serving the Improvements ("HVAC") and the roof system serving the Property (the "Roof") require significant replacements, repairs and upgrades (the "Work"). Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price as a holdback (the "Holdback") for the amount of $350,000.00 to serve as a fund for payment by Purchaser of the Costs of the Work which Purchaser may determine to be necessary or appropriate in its sole discretion exercised in good faith. By no later than one (1) year after Closing, Purchaser shall send to Seller an itemized accounting of the amounts representing bona fide third party expenditures made by Purchaser after Closing for the Costs of the Work, accompanied by a certificate executed by Purchaser's chief financial officer that the amounts shown thereon are true and correct in all material respects. In the event the amounts shown attached to such certificate are less than the Holdback, the deficiency, if any, shall be paid in good and sufficient funds to Seller at the same time as the certificate is delivered to Seller. The "Costs" shall include all charges, expenses and costs for the design, permitting, insuring, labor and materials reasonably incurred in the form of payments to unaffiliated third parties on account of the Work. The scope of the Work shall be determined by Purchaser in its good faith discretion.

6.8 Survival. The provisions of this Article 6 shall survive the Closing.

ARTICLE 7: REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

7.1 Seller's Representations and Warranties. As a material inducement to Purchaser to execute this Agreement and consummate this transaction, Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser as of the Date of this Agreement and on the Closing Date that:

(a) Organization and Authority. Seller (or each of them) has been duly organized and is validly existing as limited liability companies, in good standing in their state of formation and qualified to do business in the state in which the Property is located if required by applicable law. Seller has the full right and authority and has obtained any and all consents required to enter into this Agreement and to consummate or cause to be consummated the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been, and all of the documents to be delivered by Seller at the Closing will be, authorized and properly executed and constitutes, or will constitute, as appropriate, the valid and binding obligation of Seller, enforceable in accordance with their terms.

(b) Conflicts and Pending Action. There is no agreement to which Seller is a party or to Seller's knowledge binding on Seller which is in conflict with this Agreement. There is no action or proceeding pending or, to Seller's knowledge, threatened against the Property or Seller, including condemnation proceedings, which relates to the Property, the Security Deposits or the Leases, or challenges or impairs Seller's ability to execute or perform its obligations under this Agreement.

(c) Rent Roll and Operating Statements. The Rent Roll provided or to be provided to Purchaser is or will be true, correct and complete in all material respects as of the date thereof. The Operating Statements were prepared by or for Seller in the ordinary course of its business in the same manner as it prepares or obtains such reports for its other properties and are the Operating Statements used and relied upon by Seller in connection with its operation of the Property.

(d) Leases. To Seller's knowledge, the Leases delivered or to be delivered to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement are true, correct and complete. To Seller's knowledge, except as set forth in the aged accounts receivables report delivered as part of the Rent Roll, there are no defaults by either the Landlord or the tenants and no tenant is owed or will be owed any amounts for allowances, reimbursements and the like, unless the applicable Lease delivered by Seller to Purchaser expressly provides for same to be made on a date after the date of this Agreement. Inasmuch as Purchaser is a tenant under one of the Leases, the foregoing representations and warranties shall be inapplicable to Purchaser's Lease.

(e) Service Contracts. To Seller's knowledge, the list of Service Contracts and the copies of the Service Contracts delivered or to be delivered to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement are true, correct, and complete. Neither Seller nor, to Seller's knowledge, any other party is in material default under any Service Contract.

(f) Violations. To Seller's knowledge, Seller has not received written notice from any governmental entity of any material violation by Seller of any law, rule or regulation affecting the Property or its use including any environmental law or regulation, nor any written notice that the Property is in violation of any applicable building or zoning code or ordinance, except for any such matters which may have been previously cured by Seller or which have been or will be disclosed to Purchaser pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(g) Compliance with International Trade Control Laws and OFAC Regulations. Seller (without reference to its constituent entities) is not now nor shall it be at any time prior to or at the Closing an individual, corporation, partnership, joint venture, association, joint stock company, trust, trustee, estate, limited liability company, unincorporated organization, real estate investment trust, government or any agency or political subdivision thereof, or any other form of entity (collectively, a "Person") named in any executive orders or lists published by the Office of Foreign Assets Control, Department of the Treasury ("OFAC") as Persons with whom a United States Citizen (a "U.S. Person") may not transact business or must limit their interactions to types approved by OFAC ("Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons").

"Seller's knowledge," as used in this Agreement means the current actual knowledge of Seller, without any duty of inquiry or investigation, other than to Seller's property manager and steering committee. Purchaser's sole remedy in the event of a material breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties discovered prior to Closing shall be to elect either to terminate this Agreement, recover the Xxxxxxx Money, and be entitled to recover its out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement, including, without limitation, its attorneys' fees, up to a maximum of $25,000.00 in the aggregate, following which neither party shall have any further obligations hereunder, or to proceed to Closing, waiving any other claim against Seller and releasing Seller from any other liability or obligations in connection therewith. Seller's maximum aggregate liability for damages arising from all breaches of the foregoing representations discovered after Closing shall be limited to Purchaser's actual damages and attorney's fees (and specifically excluding consequential, punitive and exemplary damages).

7.2 Purchaser's Representations and Warranties. As a material inducement to Seller to execute this Agreement and consummate this transaction, Purchaser represents and warrants to Seller that:

(a) Organization and Authority. Purchaser has been duly organized and is validly existing as a limited liability company, in good standing in the State of Delaware and is, or prior to Closing will be, qualified to do business in the state in which the Real Property is located. Purchaser has the full right and authority and has obtained any and all consents required to enter into this Agreement and to consummate or cause to be consummated the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been, and all of the documents to be delivered by Purchaser at the Closing will be, authorized and properly executed by Purchaser, and to Purchaser's knowledge, will constitute the valid and binding obligation of Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with their terms.

(b) Conflicts and Pending Action. There is no agreement to which Purchaser is a party or to Purchaser's knowledge binding on Purchaser which is in conflict with this Agreement. There is no action or proceeding pending or, to Purchaser's knowledge, threatened against Purchaser which challenges or impairs Purchaser's ability to execute or perform its obligations under this Agreement.

(c) Compliance with International Trade Control Laws and OFAC Regulations. Purchaser (without reference to its constituent entities) is not now nor shall it be at any time prior to or at the Closing a Person named in any executive orders or lists published by OFAC as a Specially Designated National and Blocked Person.

ARTICLE 8: DEFAULT AND DAMAGES

8.1 Default by Purchaser. If Purchaser shall default in its obligation to close hereunder or otherwise materially defaults in its obligations hereunder, Purchaser agrees that Seller shall have the right to have the Escrow Agent deliver the Xxxxxxx Money to Seller, as liquidated damages to recompense Seller for time spent, labor and services performed, and the loss of its bargain. Purchaser and Seller have considered carefully the loss to Seller occasioned by taking the Property off the market as a consequence of the negotiation and execution of this Agreement, the expenses of Seller incurred in connection with the preparation of this Agreement and Seller's performance hereunder, and the other damages, general and special, which Purchaser and Seller realize and recognize Seller will sustain but which Purchaser and Seller agree would be impracticable or extremely difficult to calculate at this time if Purchaser so defaults. Based on all those considerations, Purchaser and Seller agree that the Xxxxxxx Money, together with the interest thereon, represents a reasonable estimate of Seller's damages. Seller agrees to accept the Xxxxxxx Money as Seller's total damages and relief hereunder if Purchaser defaults in its obligations to close hereunder, Seller waiving all other rights and remedies.

8.2 Default by Seller. If Seller defaults in its obligation to sell and convey the Property to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, Purchaser's sole remedy shall be to elect one of the following: (a) to terminate this Agreement, in which event Purchaser shall be entitled to the return by the Escrow Agent or Seller, as applicable, to Purchaser of the Xxxxxxx Money, or (b) to bring a suit for specific performance provided that any suit for specific performance must be brought within 90 days of Seller's default, to the extent permitted by law, Purchaser waiving the right to bring suit at any later date. Purchaser agrees not to file a lis pendens or other similar notice against the Property except in connection with, and after, the proper filing of a suit for specific performance. The limitations on remedies set forth in this Paragraph 8.2 shall not apply to a breach by Seller of the representations and warranties in Paragraph 7.1, nor to any matter which survives Closing or is to be performed by Seller pursuant to a closing document.

ARTICLE 9: XXXXXXX MONEY PROVISIONS

9.1 Investment and Use of Funds. The Escrow Agent shall invest the Xxxxxxx Money in government insured interest bearing accounts satisfactory to Purchaser, shall not commingle the Xxxxxxx Money with any funds of the Escrow Agent or others, and shall promptly provide Purchaser and Seller with confirmation of the investments made. If the Closing under this Agreement occurs, the Escrow Agent shall apply the Xxxxxxx Money (which includes any interest accrued thereon while the Xxxxxxx Money is in escrow) against the Purchase Price due Seller at Closing.

9.2 Contract Terminations. Upon a termination of this Agreement, either party to this Agreement (the "Terminating Party") may give written notice to the Escrow Agent and the other party (the "Non-Terminating Party") of such termination and the reason for such termination. Such request shall also constitute a request for the release of the Xxxxxxx Money to the Terminating Party if so entitled under this Agreement. The Non-Terminating Party shall then have five (5) Business Days in which to object in writing to the release of the Xxxxxxx Money to the Terminating Party. If the Non-Terminating Party provides such an objection, and the Xxxxxxx Money is in the possession of Escrow Agent, then the Escrow Agent shall retain the Xxxxxxx Money until it receives written instructions executed by both Seller and Purchaser as to the disposition and disbursement of the Xxxxxxx Money, or until ordered by final court order, decree or judgment, which is not subject to appeal, to deliver the Xxxxxxx Money to a particular party, in which event the Xxxxxxx Money shall be delivered in accordance with such notice, instruction, order, decree or judgment.

9.3 Interpleader. Seller and Purchaser mutually agree that in the event of any controversy regarding the Xxxxxxx Money, unless mutual written instructions are received by the Escrow Agent directing the Xxxxxxx Money's disposition, the Escrow Agent shall not take any action, but instead shall await the disposition of any proceeding relating to the Xxxxxxx Money or, at the Escrow Agent's option, the Escrow Agent may interplead all parties and deposit the Xxxxxxx Money with a court of competent jurisdiction in which event the Escrow Agent may recover all of its court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees. Seller or Purchaser, whichever loses in any such interpleader action, shall be solely obligated to pay such costs and fees of the Escrow Agent, as well as the reasonable attorneys' fees of the prevailing party in accordance with the other provisions of this Agreement.

9.4 Liability of Escrow Agent. The parties acknowledge that the Escrow Agent is acting solely as a stakeholder at their request and for their convenience, that the Escrow Agent shall not be deemed to be the agent of either of the parties, and that the Escrow Agent shall not be liable to either of the parties for any action or omission on its part taken or made in good faith, and not in disregard of this Agreement, but shall be liable for its negligent acts and for any loss, cost or expense incurred by Seller or Purchaser resulting from the Escrow Agent's mistake of law respecting the Escrow Agent's scope or nature of its duties. SELLER AND PURCHASER SHALL JOINTLY AND SEVERALLY INDEMNIFY AND HOLD THE ESCROW AGENT HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ALL COSTS, CLAIMS AND EXPENSES, INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEYS' FEES, INCURRED IN CONNECTION WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF THE ESCROW AGENT'S DUTIES HEREUNDER, EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO ACTIONS OR OMISSIONS TAKEN OR MADE BY THE ESCROW AGENT IN BAD FAITH, IN DISREGARD OF THIS AGREEMENT OR INVOLVING NEGLIGENCE ON THE PART OF THE ESCROW AGENT.

ARTICLE 10: MISCELLANEOUS

10.1 Parties Bound. Except for an assignment pursuant to this Paragraph 10.1 or Paragraph 10.16, neither party may assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other, and any such prohibited assignment shall be void. No assignment permitted under this Agreement shall relieve the assigning party of any liability hereunder, whether arising before or after the date of such assignment. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective legal representatives, successors, assigns, heirs, and devisees of the parties.

At Closing, Purchaser shall be permitted to assign this Agreement, the Xxxxxxx Money, and the rights of "Purchaser" in connection therewith, to a Purchaser's Affiliate (as hereinafter defined) without the prior written consent of Seller, provided that Purchaser delivers written notice of its intent to do so at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date. "Purchaser's Affiliate" means (a) any entity that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Purchaser, or (b) any entity at least a majority of whose economic interest is owned by Purchaser or the members of Purchaser; and the term "control" means the power to direct the management of such entity through voting rights, ownership or contractual obligations.

10.2 Confidentiality. The Property Information and all other information, other than matters of public record or matters generally known to the public, furnished to, or obtained through inspection of the Property by, Purchaser, its affiliates, lenders, employees, attorneys, accountants and other professionals or agents relating to the Property, will be treated by Purchaser, its affiliates, lenders, employees and agents as confidential, and will not be disclosed to anyone other than representatives and consultants of Purchaser, on a need-to-know basis, who agree to maintain the confidentiality of such information, and will be returned to Seller by Purchaser if the Closing does not occur. Purchaser shall make no public announcement or disclosure of this Agreement or any non-public information related to this Agreement to outside brokers or third parties before the Closing, without the prior written consent of Seller. Purchaser shall not record this Agreement or any memorandum of this Agreement. The confidentiality provisions of this Paragraph 10.2 shall not apply to any disclosures made by Purchaser as required by law, by court order, or in connection with any subpoena served upon Purchaser; provided Purchaser shall provide Seller with written notice before making any such disclosure. The provisions of this Paragraph 10.2 shall survive Closing and the delivery and recordation of the Deed.

10.3 Headings. The article and paragraph headings of this Agreement are for convenience only and in no way limit or enlarge the scope or meaning of the language hereof.

10.4 Invalidity and Waiver. If any portion of this Agreement is held invalid or inoperative, then so far as is reasonable and possible the remainder of this Agreement shall be deemed valid and operative, and effect shall be given to the intent manifested by the portion held invalid or inoperative. The failure by either party to enforce against the other any term or provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such party's right to enforce against the other party the same or any other such term or provision in the future.

10.5 Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement shall, in all respects, be governed, construed, applied, and enforced in accordance with the law of the state in which the Property is located. Seller and Purchaser agree that exclusive of venue for any legal action concerning this Agreement shall lie exclusively in the state district courts of Xxxxxx County, Texas, and hereby submit to jurisdiction in the State of Texas.

10.6 Survival. Unless otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement, each of the covenants, obligations, representations, and agreements contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing and the execution and delivery of the Deed required hereunder only for a period of 6 months immediately following the Closing Date; provided, however the indemnification provisions of Paragraph 2.3, 6.4 and 6.6 and the provisions of Paragraph 6.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the Closing, whichever occurs, and shall not be merged, until the applicable statute of limitations with respect to any claim, cause of action, suit or other action relating thereto shall have fully and finally expired. Any claim brought after Closing based upon a misrepresentation or a breach of a warranty contained in Article 7 of this Agreement shall be actionable or enforceable if and only if: (i) notice of such claim is given to the party which allegedly made such misrepresentation or breached such covenant, obligation, warranty or agreement within 6 months after the Closing Date; and (ii) the amount of damages or losses as a result of such claim suffered or sustained by the party making such claim exceeds $50,000.

10.7 No Third Party Beneficiary. This Agreement is not intended to give or confer any benefits, rights, privileges, claims, actions, or remedies to any person or entity as a third party beneficiary or otherwise.

10.8 Entirety and Amendments. This Agreement embodies the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to the Property except for any confidentiality agreement binding on Purchaser, which shall not be superseded by this Agreement. This Agreement may be amended or supplemented only by an instrument in writing executed by the party against whom enforcement is sought.

10.9 Time. Time is of the essence in the performance of this Agreement.

10.10 Attorneys' Fees. Should either party employ attorneys to enforce any of the provisions hereof, the party against whom any final judgment is entered agrees to pay the prevailing party all reasonable costs, charges, and expenses, including attorneys' fees, expended or incurred in connection therewith.

10.11 Notices and Deliveries. All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be served on the parties at the addresses set forth in Paragraph 1.1. Any such notices shall be either (a) sent by overnight delivery using a nationally recognized overnight courier, in which case notice shall be deemed delivered one (1) Business Day after deposit with such courier, (b) sent by facsimile, with written confirmation by overnight or first class mail, in which case notice shall be deemed delivered upon receipt of confirmation transmission of such facsimile notice, or (c) sent by personal delivery, in which case notice shall be deemed delivered upon receipt. Any notice sent by facsimile or personal delivery and delivered after 5:00 p.m. local time where the Property is located shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. A party's address may be changed by written notice to the other party; provided, however, that no notice of a change of address shall be effective until actual receipt of such notice. Copies of notices are for informational purposes only, and a failure to give or receive copies of any notice shall not be deemed a failure to give notice. Notices given by counsel to the Purchaser shall be deemed given by Purchaser, notices given by counsel to the Seller shall be deemed given by Seller, and notices given to a party's counsel shall be deemed given to the party. Notwithstanding the inclusion of a party's e-mail address in Paragraph 1.1, notices sent by e-mail shall not be effective notice. As used herein, "Business Day" shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or Texas or federal holiday on which national banks in Houston, Texas are customarily closed.

10.12 Construction. The parties acknowledge that the parties and their counsel have reviewed and revised this Agreement and that the normal rule of construction – to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party – shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or any exhibits or amendments hereto.

10.13 Calculation of Time Periods. Unless otherwise specified, in computing any period of time described herein, the day of the act or event after which the designated period of time begins to run is not to be included and the last day of the period so computed is to be included, unless such last day is a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday for national banks in the location where the Property is located, in which event the period shall run until the end of the next day which is neither a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday. The last day of any period of time described herein shall be deemed to end at 5:00 p.m. local time where the Property is located unless otherwise noted. Any funds or documents delivered to Title Company or Escrow Agent shall only be delivered on a Business Day, and any funds or documents delivered after 2:00 p.m. local time where the Property is located shall be deemed delivered on the next Business Day.

10.14 Procedure for Indemnity. The following provisions govern actions for indemnity under this Agreement. Promptly after receipt by an indemnitee of notice of any claim, such indemnitee will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnitor, deliver to the indemnitor written notice thereof and the indemnitor shall have the right to participate in such proceeding and, if the indemnitor agrees in writing that it will be responsible for any costs, expenses, judgments, damages, and losses incurred by the indemnitee with respect to such claim, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnitor, if the indemnitee reasonably believes that representation of such indemnitee by the counsel retained by the indemnitor would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnitee and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure of indemnitee to deliver written notice to the indemnitor within a reasonable time after indemnitee receives notice of any such claim shall relieve such indemnitor of any liability to the indemnitee under this indemnity only if and to the extent that such failure is prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, and the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnitor will not relieve it of any other liability that it may have to any indemnitee. If an indemnitee settles a claim without the prior written consent of the indemnitor, then the indemnitor shall be released from liability with respect to such claim unless the indemnitor has unreasonably withheld such consent.

10.15 Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of such counterparts shall constitute one Agreement. To facilitate execution of this Agreement, the parties may execute and exchange by telephone facsimile counterparts of the signature pages.

10.16 Section 1031 Exchange. Either party may consummate the purchase or sale (as applicable) of the Property as part of a so-called like kind exchange (an "Exchange") pursuant to §1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), provided that: (a) the Closing shall not be delayed or affected by reason of the Exchange nor shall the consummation or accomplishment of an Exchange be a condition precedent or condition subsequent to the exchanging party's obligations under this Agreement; (b) the exchanging party shall effect its Exchange through an assignment of this Agreement, or its rights under this Agreement, to a qualified intermediary (c) neither party shall be required to take an assignment of the purchase agreement for the relinquished or replacement property or be required to acquire or hold title to any real property for purposes of consummating an Exchange desired by the other party; and (d) the exchanging party shall pay any additional costs that would not otherwise have been incurred by the non-exchanging party had the exchanging party not consummated the transaction through an Exchange. Neither party shall by this Agreement or acquiescence to an Exchange desired by the other party have its rights under this Agreement affected or diminished in any manner or be responsible for compliance with or be deemed to have warranted to the exchanging party that its Exchange in fact complies with §1031 of the Code.

10.17 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

10.18 Limitation of Liability. Purchaser acknowledges that the liability of Seller shall be limited to its interests in the Property and the proceeds of sale, and shall not extend to any individual member, partner, officer, director, employee, agent, contractor or other person acting for or on behalf of Seller. Further, as the interests of Seller are held as tenants-in-common, the liability of each party composing Seller hereunder shall be several (in accordance with each party's respective interest in the Property), and not joint; however, Purchaser need not accept partial performance by any party comprising Seller (and may treat any partial performance as a default by Seller for all purposes under this Agreement).

10.19 Ratification by Selling Parties. The effectiveness of this Agreement is necessarily subject to and conditioned upon execution by all persons composing Seller prior to two (2) Business Days preceding the expiration of the Due Diligence Period. If such ratification is not delivered to Purchaser prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement at any time prior to Closing upon not less than two (2) Business Days' prior written notice and the failure of Seller to provide evidence of due execution by all persons or entities composing Seller prior to the expiration of such two (2) Business Days, recover the Xxxxxxx Money, and be entitled to recover jointly and severally from any Seller who signed or ratified this Agreement the actual out of pocket costs Purchaser incurred in connection with this Agreement, including, without limitation, its attorneys fees, up to a maximum aggregate of $50,000.00. The remedies of Purchaser in this Paragraph 10.19 supersede any limitation on remedies set forth elsewhere in this Agreement.
